All Is Optional

I’ll be starting an English MA/Ph.D. program at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in Fall 2009. Good things lie ahead. They include photographs.

Being a grad student is like becoming all of the Seven Dwarves. In the beginning you’re Dopey and Bashful. In the middle, you’re usually sick (Sneezy), tired (Sleepy), and irritable (Grumpy). But at the end, they call you Doc, and then you’re Happy.
